Introduction to Energy Modelling (SEE 310 Course Pack)
Niet, Taco; Kuling, Kamaria. “Introduction to Energy Modelling (SEE 310 Course Pack).” Simon Fraser University School of Sustainable Energy Engineering. 2020.
This course pack provides an overview of energy systems modelling for an introductory 3rd year, 4th year, or graduate level course. There are four main sections: Introduction, Optimization Models, Building Energy Models, and Energy-Economy Models. The introduction provides context on the importance and environmental impacts of the energy system through an engineering and socio-political lens. Two types of optimization models are covered in section 2: capacity expansion and power system models. An overview of solutions to optimization models through linear and mixed integer programming is provided. Section 3 provides an overview of building energy modelling with practice problems on calculating wall r-values and using eQuest for basic building energy modelling. Energy-economy models are then introduced including Input-Output, Computable General Equilibrium and Partial Equilibrium models.
